Signing Amazon Route 53 API Requests

Requests must be signed using an access key ID and a secret access key. We strongly
recommend that you do not use your
AWS account credentials for everyday work with Amazon Route 53. You can use the
credentials for an IAM user or you can use AWS STS
to generate temporary security credentials.

To sign your API requests, we recommend that you use AWS Signature Version 4. For
more information, see
Signature Version 4 Signing Process in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.
